Furnace Fest 2024 Tour • Page 43

Guess all the Pat Flynn bands are out.

 

Oof not a good look

 

I believe it was 10% and that is why fiddlehead dropped last year

 

On top of all the good repeats from the last four years, because besides 2022 I feel like they really nailed every single lineup every day. Feel like there’s a lot of room for adjacent bands to this scene like

Spanish Love Songs
Barely Civil
ManDancing
The Wonder Years
The Dangerous Summer
Waking Ashland
La Dispute

Definitely bring back these “new bloods”

Spiritbox
Casey
Koyo

 

It’s crazy how many people in the community are asking for Spiritbox, like at this point they would need to be a day headliner right?

 

it’s interesting because the fans didn’t really show out for Spiritbox a couple years ago when they were on the lineup card. i know they’re much bigger now, but on both sides of the coin- FF and Spiritbox ends, it felt like there wasn’t a ton of benefit before… how much different will it be now?

i do think FF did a really good job in 2024 with the modern / legacy metalcore/active rock artists. that was super lacking in 2023 imo. i would be happy to see them bring in some more UNFD/Sharptone type of artists- namely Like Moths to Flames, Alpha Wolf, Boston Manor, Polaris, Currents, Emmure, etc.

additionally, artists like Boundaries, Kaonashi, Distinguisher, Johnny Booth, Fox Lake, Mugshot… feels like there’s a good appetite at furnace for the Orthodox/No Cure ass beating type artists and some of these have done tours with them or just kinda rule.

i’d love for Furnace to go after an artist like Park as like a rarity/reunion type of thing. maybe Dead Poetic, Recover, Gatsby’s American Dream, The Chariot, The Receiving End of Sirens- even just The Dear Hunter would be cool.

as always, one of END or Counterparts should be on it bc duh.

in terms of headliner level artists- maybe jump on the Knocked Loose bandwagon again as they continue their ascension? it’s so hard to think of actual headliner level artists because i would have never anticipated Thrice would headline the fest, for example.

 

Circa Survive x1000
Fear Before
Memorydrip
Bear vs Shark
Gatsbys American Dream
Receiving End of Sirens (might as well throw in The Dear Hunter)
mewithoutyou
Hot Mulligan
La Dispute
Touche Amore
Straylight Run
Pinkshift
Sweet Pill
Pool Kids
Illuminati Hotties
Jeff Rosenstock
Joyce Manor
A Lot Like Birds
Origami Angel
Prince Daddy and the Hyena

 

I feel like they will try AFI again, Knocked Loose was my other no brainer headliner and then yea Spiritbox or Killswitch or Taking Back Sunday as that third one

 

Just run the whole 2021 line up back

 

Rise Against and AFI are headliner level who played the original fest.

 

and they tried for AFI last year but they said no cause of the 30 seconds tour

 

2023 also did said bands but yeah 2024 definitely took it to another level.

Hell, the whole revival has been a love letter to the good days.

 

Dead Poetic and Name Taken and I'll go

 

sounds like dead poetic keeps saying no
